Olsen, in response to:

because their symptoms did not regress to pre statin levels, they assumed the worsening of symptoms was not caused by statins
That doesn't make sense to me. The levels of CoQ10 could have been decreased by the statins and that could have worsened symptoms.

If a CoQ10 supplement wasn't ingested to address the shortfall caused by the statins, then the patients would still have a problem with low CoQ10, even tho the statins were discontinued.

They would still need to take CoQ10 to get their levels up to normal, because low CoQ10 can worsen PD symptoms, even tho the statins had been stopped.
